In celebration of Autism Awareness Month, a few lucky kids on the autism spectrum got the chance of a lifetime to make announcements for the New York City subway system.
"Hello passengers, my name is Morgan. I'm 5 years old. I would like to let you know this is Autism Awareness Month. Please remember, stand clear of the closing doors," Morgan Calles said.
"Attention passengers. This is Ian and I love to ride the MTA trains," 12-year-old Ian Gutterman said. The young students are the MTA's biggest fans. They have memorized routes and stops. Gutterman even tracks how many passengers are on the bus at any time They all have autism. Jonathan Trichter with the Foundry Learning Center for Autistic Children asked the MTA if some of the students could tape subway announcements for Autism Awareness Month.
"It's not unusual that a child with autism in New York City will utter his first sentence and have it be, stand clear of the closing doors please," Trichter said.
